A recent comment here on this website (about 20 minutes ago) reminds me of a pretty good scene from it.

[disclaimer: I pirated it, I don't normally steal, but frick apple and Foundation is too important to the world of sci-fi for me not to at least check it out and to see how its interpreted]

The problem is, Foundation is notoriously unadaptable. Firstly, the series operates on a massive scale that would frighten most filmmakers into turning tail and running the other way. The first installment alone spans 200 years, while the series writ large transpires across 600 years. Second, Foundation is a novel of ideas, not of characters. Most mid-century works of what scholars call โhard science fictionโ share this trait: these are high-minded stories of weighty intellectual themes, which prioritize airtight scientific rigor over character-driven narratives. Foundation is a brilliant series, but you wonโt find much in the way of character development or emotional beats here; what youโll find are scantily sketched characters, most of them white men, conversing at length about the fate of the Galactic Empire. If youโre looking for epic space battles and wrenching character deaths, look elsewhere, because in the world of Foundation, most deaths are just the casualties of timeโs inexorable march. In a cosmically massive story, they barely merit a paragraph.
